Bowl – Camphor Laurel with piercing. No.2
This Camphor Laurel bowl was turned ‘green’, that is whilst it still contains all the water when the tree is freshly fell or falls over. The wall section is approximately 2mm. The patterned pierced, hole section, is done by hand using a rotary carver. One by one as the holes are produced, the pattern emerges. Although quite thin, its surprising how strong the wood is at this point. (not that I would throw it around). The completed bowl is coated with a few coats of a hand rubbed oil finish to protect and enhance the beautiful colours and grain pattern of this stunning timber. Handcrafted by David Barden, from locally sourced, salvaged timber.
Dimensions – 260mm diameter x 50mm high approx.

Bowl – Mango
Made from locally sourced, salvaged Mango timber from Coffs Harbour. Once the tree is cut up, this bowl underwent a drying process of about 12 months. Firstly, woodturned into the rough shape, a little thicker than the final product. It is then left to dry and distort over a period of about 1 year. Once dry, the bowl is re turned into its final shape, taking care to make sure it is round and all shrinkage marks are removed. The last thing to be done is a hand rubbed oil finish is applied to protect and beautify the surface. Showing off the grain and colour unique to the Mango Tree. Handcrafted by David Barden.
Dimensions – 210mm diameter x 110mm high approx.

Bowl – Pecan ‘green’ turned. No.10
This bowl is made from locally sourced, salvaged wood from the Coffs Harbour area. The tree is cut up by hand with a chainsaw and then woodturned immediately. The gentle wavy edge is produced by the shrinkage that takes place as the timber dries. We have no real control as to what happens at this point. Nature will do it’s own thing. The crack you see in the bowl is a natural deformity that opened up during the drying process. When this bowl was finished it was symmetrical and surface was smooth to touch. Once dry, it has a wavy edge and is rippled on the surface in spots. Each piece like this is ultimately unique and can’t be replicated, no matter how hard we try, making it a very special piece for your home. The completed bowl has a hand rubbed oil finish to highlight the colour and grain of wood. Handcrafted by David Barden.
Dimensions – 260mm diameter x 90mm high approx.
